Hello guys,
I am working on a testing device, and one of its functions would be to short circuit each data signal(of the external tested device) to ground for up to 1 minute.
I was thinking about using intelligent low or high sided switches instead of the usual MOSFETs. The reason would be that with these switches I would use only one IC, but in case of the MOSFETS I would also need an extra IC as driver.
I've found some suitable switches, for example:
- http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/1074/0900766b81074102.pdf
- http://www.infineon.com/dgdl/BTS428...fileId=db3a30431936bc4b011960b3910b2c51&ack=t
Did any of you have any experience with these devices? Would they be suitable for this application. I would appreciate some suggestions.
Remark: The short circuit current would not exceed the nominal current of the switches.
Thanks!
